Ashworth Parkes Architects’ Contemporary Farmhouse is a beautifully crafted rural home where Petersen Tegl’s D-76 brick defines chimneys, elevations, and connecting datums across the separated outbuildings. The brick’s subtle tonal shifts and handmade texture create a warm, enduring character both externally and within the full-height entrance hall, celebrating the material’s natural beauty.

A primary material used throughout the Contemporary Farmhouse project is the D-76 brick by Petersen Tegl, which forms the prominent chimneys, frames elevations and defines a key datum around the farmhouse for the separated ‘outbuildings’. The subtle colour changes and non-uniformity within the bricks, due to their specific method of manufacture, leads to a warm collage of tones across the building’s facades, appearing more akin to a reclaimed brick. Internally, the bricks have been used for the two walls bookending the full height entrance hall space. We tested out using a wash and a paint but eventually decided to leave this exposed to highlight the brick’s inherent aesthetic qualities.

Barry Wark’s Tùr House envisions architecture as something adaptable and enduring, using a façade of large-scale 3D-printed single-material blocks that can be dismantled, repaired, and reused over time. Set quietly within its natural surroundings, the project embraces weathering as a design force, creating an introspective home where the textured envelope absorbs the landscape rather than disappearing into it.

Tùr House.
.
Rather than treating buildings as fixed and disposable objects, the project asks how architecture might be designed to evolve over time—able to be taken apart, repaired, and reconfigured as needs change. At the center of the proposal is a single-material building envelope made from large-scale 3D-printed blocks. The façade is conceived as an independent outer layer, separate from the structure and interior spaces inside. By avoiding complex, multi-layered façade systems, the project imagines a more circular approach to construction, where materials can be reused or recycled.
.
The building does not resist weathering and environment but absorbs it. In contrast to the familiar image of the transparent glass house in nature, this project proposes a quieter, more introspective domestic environment.

Prichard Barnes Architects designed this planning-approved scheme in Newport that sensitively reimagines a 19th-century school into 28 one- and two-bedroom flats arranged around a generous shared courtyard and landscaped garden. By carefully conserving the historic fabric while introducing a complementary new-build element, the project brings abundant daylight and strong street and courtyard connections through large windows and rooflights, creating bright, contemporary homes within a conservation setting.

PLANNING APPROVED.
This scheme, in Newport, borders the St Woolos Conservation Area.
An existing 19th Century school is being reimagined as 28 one and 2 bedroom flats, with a shared internal courtyard and landscaped garden.
The existing structure is being respected and conserved while a new build block will contrast and complement the existing buildings.
Challenges, such as daylighting the individual flats were overcome by incorporating large windows and roof lights thus flooding the spaces with light and providing views of the street and courtyards.

Barefoot Architects are collaborating with Nettle Cohousing Cooperative on a joyful, community-led housing project in Easton, delivering six affordable and sustainable homes shaped by strong principles of social design. Supported by Bristol City Council, the scheme combines brightly coloured façades, shared gardens and roof terraces with resilient, people-centred living spaces that celebrate community, climate awareness, and long-term neighbourhood value.

You care about the planet. You care about people.
You`re a part of a community, cohousing, or CLT group that wants affordable, sustainable homes for your neighbourhood but you don`t know where to start...
Nettle Cohousing Cooperative is one of many such groups that we`re collaborating with to design 6 new homes in Easton.
The land is being provided by Bristol City Council to support this innovative community-led housing approach. Principles of social design have been incorporated throughout the design, which includes a shared rear garden and roof terraces🏡
Brightly coloured through coloured panels characterise the lower level, with colour matched staircases and metalwork which reach recessed entrance spaces across the terrace.
Apartments occupy the raised ground floor level – lifted to mitigate against future flooding. Two story maisonette houses sit on top of these, with private entrances to the front street, and a rear roof terrace with access to the garden below via a staircase. These have incorporated privacy screening louvres and provide opportunities for planting🪴
And after years of work and effort by a number of current and former prospective residents, we`re pleased to announce we have submitted a full planning application! 🙌
If you`re interested in collaborating with us, get in touch, we`d love to help you make a difference in your community.

Conceived by McCloy + Muchemwa x Konrad Holtsmark x ArchiTAG, Bergkrystallen presents a vision for an outward-looking museum in Trondheim, where faceted gallery forms rise like crystals to redefine the relationship between culture, city, and public space. Bringing two major art institutions together, the design establishes a porous, all-season route through the building that supports exhibitions, events, and everyday urban life.

Museums Beyond Walls — Bergkrystallen, Trondheim (NO)
@europan_norway #europan
Set in Leütenhaven / Midtbyen, this proposal responds to Europan’s call to transform a parking structure / former parking lot into an extroverted art museum — one that doesn’t just contain culture, but actively revitalises the historic centre and helps form a new cultural square in the city.
The project brings together Trondheim’s two public art museums (Trondheim Art Museum + Nordenfjeldske Kunstindustrimuseum / National Museum of Decorative Arts and Design) into a single, public-facing home — with the space, care conditions, and flexibility needed for exhibitions, outreach, events, workshops, and new audiences.
Bergkrystallen riffs on Trondheim’s gabled roofscape and the idea of a “bergkrystal”: lifted gallery “crystals” emerging from a grounded base to shape a new civic arena.
A central cultural spine becomes the main circulation route — a continuous public passage that stitches interior + exterior together, aligns with city paths + nearby institutions (including the Trøndelag theatre), and keeps the museum porous, accessible, and in motion.
Diagrams in the carousel show:
— how the “crystals” rise from the base to form roof + light + volume
— how the spine connects multiple access points and builds an all-season public route
— how section stacks programmes while keeping the ground plane open + generous (and how the existing parking structure can be adapted / reused)

House
Four squares dictate the spatial layout for this extended family home in Co. Clare. The house is broken into three simple block forms around these squares. The central block accommodating the living quarters for the house acts as the focal point between the sleeping blocks on either side. On arrival, a porch marks the principal entrance to the central block. Openings in the project are influenced by the pattern of openings on early 20th century Irish farmhouses. Blind windows continue classical rhythms where it was not possible to make a window opening. Externally, a wet dash plaster finish, a drystone wall and a black slate roof reference vernacular building materials of the locality.

We have some fantastic news. Union Terrace Gardens in #Aberdeen has won the @riasmembership Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland Award. It`s the first time a public realm project has scooped the prize. Quite frankly, we will never tire of reading the Wallpaper headline: “A revived public space in Aberdeen is named Scotland’s building of the year”. How wonderful is that! Link in bio for the full story 🔗
Haven’t got any official photos yet but wanted to share the news straight away with all of our friends.
The #award was based on four key factors including promoting a strong sense of community, transforming years of neglect into a new identity, showcasing architectural and horticultural precision, and demonstrating architecture’s positive impact.
Mary Duggan, founder of @marydugganarc and chair of the judges, said that the Gardens provide an “open invitation that promotes a sense of community through a genuine public offering. And it delivers precisely the opposite of what the space had become through years of neglect.”
This is so special. We`re incredibly proud and thankful.

Ossian Architects unveil a sensitive, landscape-led home in County Antrim that responds directly to the site’s rolling topography, with a gently stepped roofline and split volumes that echo the informal character of the surrounding farmyard buildings. Rooted in locally sourced materials and carefully framed views, the project sits quietly within its rural setting while offering elevated, far-reaching vistas across the Antrim coastline towards Scotland, creating a rich sense of place and connection to the land.

We’re excited to share the first glimpse of a new project in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
Taking a landscape-led approach to the design, we’ve been deeply influenced by the terrain and topography of the site. As a result, the home sits quietly yet comfortably in its rural setting, with a roofline that mirrors the fall of the land. The massing is split into two volumes, reflecting the informal, evolving nature of the adjacent farmyard buildings while minimizing the visual impact from the nearby town and surrounding countryside.
This project celebrates a variety of landscapes, characteristics and moments, each adding to the spatial complexity and sense of place. Key views have been carefully considered, with an elevated position offering breathtaking perspectives across the coastline of County Antrim to Scotland beyond.
The building will be crafted from materials sourced directly from the land, embedding the project within its locale and strengthening its connection to the surrounding scenery.
Concept images are helping us explore this approach - and we look forward to sharing more in due course.

The structure, inspired by the unique architectural elements of the stadium and redeveloping the historical iconic towers, creates a new layer and opportunity for the roof. A dynamic surface that, in its simplicity, works with lights, creating always different scenarios according to the event. The area around the stadium becomes active part of the city giving back a public green surface for a daily use bring the parking though the basement. The stadium is not an isolated element but active part of the city and its future. History becomes performance and starting point for a modern new design.

Handsome: we just finished Woolwich Market Pavilion and Gardens.
The new civic building by the old Arsenal, it brings together a locally-owned cafe, utilities for the market and fountains and public toilets.
Its strong form defines the square’s edge, helping to reconnect the area following the scarring effects of the 1980s dual-carriageway. Along with Tom Massey Studio, we have designed a resilient landscape that welcomes locals, visitors, commuters, and wildlife, boosting biodiversity and offering generous resting spaces for humans and non-humans.
We share the Royal Borough of Greenwich’s ambition to make better public spaces affording more diverse civic space for all citizens to use. It was a great privilege to work on the redesign of this historic public space. We know that having a beautiful public place to eat your lunch is an incalculable luxury that all Londoners deserve.

Druid Grove. 2025. East Dulwich.
An extension and full house refurbishment of a 3 storey terraced house. The project weaves together an eclectic mix of natural and monumental elements, both fabricated and real, into material-rich spaces that feel part stage set, part sanctuary.
A half-metre rear extension and removal of a central structural wall unlocks the ground floor plan, reorganising it around a central antechamber, transformed from a dark underutilised dining area into a key introductory space . The antechamber, set with a bar, is flanked by a pair of cave-like openings concealing sliding pocket doors and setting the scene for the rough cast texture of the kitchen and dining area.
Standing sentinel to the ground floor extension in the garden is a single standing stone, a physical and symbolic anchor that provides privacy from neighbouring views. Last moved by the glacier that deposited it 15,000 years ago, this ancient rock adds to the cave-like sense of protection and enclosure, standing in contrast to the spacey steel canopy of the patio. The stone’s presence sets the tone for the home’s connection to nature: elemental, experimental and entirely personal.

The Microhome brief asked for a 25sqm home to be designed anywhere in the world. Building on our experience working on residential projects in London, our speculative scheme explored an innovative design solution to the housing crisis in London and the UK. The Kerb House asks, can on street car parking spaces provide a solution to London’s housing crisis? Utilising the concurrent trends of the decrease in private car ownership and ever increasing housing need, the Kerb House explores if these soon to be available car parking spaces can be reimagined as microhomes. The road network is adapted away from polluting car usage and given back to the street with cycle paths, pocket parks and pedestrians prioritised.

Root and Erect are revisiting a series of much-loved playgrounds across London that champion timber structures, natural surfaces, and generous planting to create rich, imaginative play environments. Set against growing pressures on public space design, these projects demonstrate how nature-led, tactile landscapes can continue to support fearless play, biodiversity, and meaningful connections between children and the urban environment.
Reposted from @root_and_erect - always with permission.
With local authority budgets under pressure, the design and delivery of non-adventure playgrounds are increasingly shaped by the need for durability and low maintenance. This has led to a growing reliance on synthetic surfaces, reduced planting, and standardised materials—practical decisions that help playgrounds last longer but often limit opportunities for natural engagement. As a result, elements such as timber structures, wild planting, and tactile landscapes are becoming more closely associated with Adventure Playgrounds alone.
While we recognise that playground typologies are evolving to meet new demands, our work at Root and Erect has often resisted this divide. Across our portfolio, we have continued to test how natural materials and generous planting can still be successfully integrated into non-adventure playgrounds.
In this post, we revisit four playgrounds across London—Kilburn Grange, Tumbling Bay, Holland Park, and Frederick Playground. Each demonstrates a clear commitment to timber play structures, natural surfaces, and abundant planting, resulting in rich, tactile environments that are loved and pushed to their limits by children.
Through these projects, we aim to show that even within today’s constraints, it is still possible to create successful, nature-led play spaces beyond the Adventure Playground model. While London’s 80+ Adventure Playgrounds remain vital, we believe all play spaces can help address biodiversity loss and nature deprivation by prioritising imagination, sensory engagement, and stronger connections to the natural world through more natural materials and planting.
